CSX Train Location Update 12-10-13

[Raildudes dad]

GRE delivered the inbounds yesterday and brought back some outbounds. GDLK outbound's still there from last week, CSX apparently didn't pick up last night. 371 is behind everything. I went looking for the BNSF on 371 and there were signal maintainers everywhere, no west side local in sight.

CSX 6930, 2301 pushing caboose, 3 Railbox cars north at Riley St. Holland 10:45 AM.

Returning back south after dropping off cars at Stow with just caboose 11:03 AM.

Why would there be a BNSF on 371? I believe a different consist was sent from Chicago on 370 yesterday. Amtrak showed the departure of 370 about 45 min after scheduled. The 371 with the BNSF leading would have been somewhere around Whiting about that time IIRC.

Q327 getting on the NS at Porter right now. Has that CN power,

[BL2-1843]

Todays Q335 is only just now approaching South Lyon at 15:15. Will report on power as as edit to this when they get west of Howell. Todays D708, who is really yesterdays D708, whose train spent the night in Fowlerville, even though he is ready to head east, will have to sit and wait for an hour for 335 as they want to try and get the train into the yard at GRP before they croak. Not sure if they got a late call or they are already on crew #2.

Edit: CSX 98, single unit by Howell at 14:06 with 72 cars. This could be the original crew with a late call due to no power at Toledo. CSX 98 was the single unit power for Q334 last night that did not go by Howell untl 23:30.

Forgot to include I was looking about 4:30 last night. The signal maintainers appeared to be working on the signal cutover.
